Material theory of karma : 2

actually , I wanted to say something else and the subject of Leshya came so whole description went into that.
So, when we have a certain type of thought then it has power to attract the particles of Karma towards the soul.So whatever we think actually, that is what will be physically created.See I am very poor in language, but trying my best to express what I am feeling.
So, what we think, we attract the physical basis of the same.Suppose we were having some specific kind of thought when we were having the bandh or bonding of Aayu karma, then that particular thought will be attracting the aayu karma of it's own type.And then somewhere a physical body would be created in which your soul will go into in the next birth.Similarly whatever we get, we are responsible for that.If you are getting pain then believe it that sometime you might have attracted the pain by your thoughts.
If you are getting happiness then you must have only attracted it by your particular thoughts.I was astonished to see all this in a foreign CD and find the similar kind of description in jain philosophy.
So, the souls who have got salvation or moksha must have first attracted those opportunities of path of salvation by their thoughts.So thinking is the beginning and it is the only thing which we can do, rest everything will happen.!!!

Sukmal muni in his previous birth kicked his bhabhi with his foot.Bhabhi in anger built up a strong desire to eat up his feet.And we know that in the next birth what happened.

Bhabhi attracted the karma particles as per her strong thought.

And when Sukmal muni was in dhyana then bhabhi who was now in the birth of a wild animal,comes there with her children.Her those karmas becomes mature till that time and we know that she eats Sukmal muni's feet.What she desired, she did or rather it happened.

So, we should have good thoughts and desires

Think of Kevalgyan and one day you will attain keval gyan.

In the worldly life also, you can see why the 90% of wealth is in the hands of only the 10% people.The reason is simple, because they attracted it by their strong thoughts.Thinking is the first step and the only step by you.Rest everything happens.

See, I have limited knowledge and limited language, so if anything written by me goes against Jinvani then I apologise for it to Sri Veetragi Sarvagya Jindevji!!!

Material theory of Karma and the 6 leshyas:

By: Dr.Amit Prakash Jain Think positive.Think about what you want.Because what you think you attract the same.It has got scientific basis also and I have written these lines as it is after watching a CD based on positive thinking and its effect.The CD is from some western country.But I would like to say something about the 'Material theory of Karmas' as per Jainism in this context. See Jain philosophy do accepts a material theory of Karma.It says that Karmic particles are like the very very minute dust sort of substances and as per the thoughts of the soul , they comes and sticks to its pradeshes (indivisible units of soul). Now, how strong is your thoughts and what is the type of your thoughts, the same will be the power or force by which these Karma particles will stick to the soul.The karma particles surrounds the Soul and even give it a specific colour which is called as "Leshya" in Jaina Texts. There are six leshyas. We can take soul as prism, then any thing which will surround it, the prism reflects the same colour, so is the case of Soul.The type of leshya which surrounds the soul is seen as the colour of the soul. These six leshyas are black,blue,grey,red,yellow and white. Out of these the first 3 are bad leshyas and the black being the worst.The person with black leshya is doing all sins and having lot of Kashayas (anger,proud,greed ,cunningness).The blue and grey are comparatively better.But they all are bad leshyas. From the red leshya starts the good leshyas.The person with red leshya is careful about what he does, he isw religious and know what is wrong and right. The yellow leshya person observes the vratas or vows,has less anger etc. Then comes the best leshya that is the white or shukla leshya.Here the person observes mahavratas and is constantly having dhyana of his self-soul,and is not affected by praise or bad words etc. Dr. Amit Prakash Jain
